Since the age of nine, Mr Ellis-Myers has had Tourette’s Syndrome but has managed to go on to become an internationally known and respected speaker on communication leadership, sales, and customer relationship management practices that yield measurable results.

‘Stuart is an amazing story,’ said NAFA’s executive director, Phillip Russo.  ‘We’re excited to have him serve as the first keynote presenter of this year’s annual conference. His message has been described as inspiring and unforgettable, and he’s often called one of the most dynamic speakers around.’

Mr Ellis-Myers’ presentation is based around the coping mechanisms he was forced to successfully create to overcome the debilitating effects he experiences alongside a background that includes twenty years of successful corporate life working in senior director positions across a wide variety of industries.

 ‘He has a track record of achieving results where others believe they cannot and he knows how to show people that they already possess everything they need to succeed,’ added Mr Russo. ‘I can’t wait to see his presentation!’

NAFA’s 2013 Institute & Expo takes place 23-26 April at the Atlantic City Convention Center and will feature additional keynote presentations from Janet Froetscher, president & CEO of the National Safety Council; a panel of representatives from Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors; and former race car champion, Derek Daly.
